Penny, Huey posted a video that he knows is wrong. Obama didn't say those things to mean that. Huey knowingly did this because he thinks Obama probably means this and you agree with him. Huey is the stupid one.


Please tell me what Obama meant to say? Thank you for your response.

While every tea bragger on this site screams bloody murder about the ACA and the "takers", here's what's really f-ing up this country:

The top one percent's total wealth went from 48 trillion American dollars to 73 trillion American dollars. And that was done in one year - 2011. That means the one percenters made 25 trillion dollars that year. The GDP for this country is 15 trillion.

In the reporting year for 2011, tax revenues from that one percent went down.

Keep talking about that libertarian freedom and that big gubmint you hate. You're the saps that let them do this.

One Question---Why are all the Liberals suddenly using ACA instead of Obamacare? You guys beginning to see him for what he is too?

SUBJECT: Want A Free House? (My Mom Sent Me This)


I was in my neighborhood restaurant this morning and was seated behind
a group of jubilant individuals celebrating the coming implementation
of the health care bill. I could not finish my breakfast. This is what
ensued: They were a diverse group of several races and both sexes. I
heard a young man exclaim, "Isn't Obama like Jesus Christ? I mean,
after all, he is healing the sick."

A young woman enthusiastically proclaimed, "Yeah, and he does it for
free. I cannot believe anyone would think that a free market wouldn't
work for health care."

Another said, "The stupid Republicans want us all to starve to death
so they can inherit all of the power. Obama should be made a Saint for
what he did for those of us less fortunate."

At this, I had more than enough. I arose from my seat, mustering all
the restraint I could find, and approached their table. "Please excuse
me; may I impose upon you for one moment?"

They smiled and welcomed me to the conversation. I stood at the end of
their table, smiled as best I could and began an experiment.

"I would like to give one of you my house. It will cost you no money
and I will pay all of the expenses and taxes for as long as you live
there. Anyone interested?"

They looked at each other in astonishment. "Why would you do something
like that?" asked a young man, "There isn't anything for free in this
world." They began to laugh at me, as they did not realize this man
had just made my point.

"I am serious, I will give you my house for free, no money whatsoever.
Anyone interested?"

In unison, a resounding "Yeah" fills the room.

"Since there are too many of you, I will have to make a choice as to
who receives this money-free bargain."

I noticed an elderly couple was paying attention to the spectacle
unfolding before their eyes, the old man shaking his head in apparent
disgust.

"I tell you what; I will give it to the one of you most willing to
obey my rules."

Again, they looked at one another, an expression of bewilderment on
their faces.

The perky young woman asked, "What are the rules?"

I smiled and said, "I don't know. I have not yet defined them.
However, it is a free home that I offer you."

They giggled amongst themselves, the youngest of which said, "What an
old coot. He must be crazy to give away his home. Go take your meds,
old man."

I smiled and leaned into the table a bit further. "I am serious, this
is a legitimate offer."

They gaped at me for a moment.

"I'll take it you old fool. Where are the keys?" boasted the youngest
among them.

"Then I presume you accept ALL of my terms then?" I asked.

The elderly couple seemed amused and entertained as they watched from
the privacy of their table. "Oh yeah! Where do I sign up?"

I took a napkin and wrote, "I give this man my home, without the
burden of financial obligation, so long as he accepts and abides by
the terms that I shall set forth upon consummation of this
transaction."

I signed it and handed it to the young man who eagerly scratched out
his signature.

"Where are the keys to my new house?" he asked in a mocking tone of
voice.

All eyes were upon us as I stepped back from the table, pulling the
keys from pocket and dangling them before the excited new homeowner.

"Now that we have entered into this binding contract, witnessed by all
of your friends, I have decided upon the conditions you are obligated
to adhere to from this point forward. You may only live in the house
for one hour a day. You will not use anything inside of the home. You
will obey me without question or resistance. I expect complete loyalty
and admiration for this gift I bestow upon you. You will accept my
commands and wishes with enthusiasm, no matter the nature. Your morals
and principles shall be as mine. You will vote as I do, think as I do
and do it with blind faith. These are my terms. Here are your keys." I
reached the keys forward and the young man looked at me dumbfounded.

"Are you out of your mind? Who would ever agree to those ridiculous
terms?" the young man appeared irritated.

"You did when you signed this contract before reading it,
understanding it and with the full knowledge that I would provide my
conditions only after you committed to the agreement."

The elderly man chuckled as his wife tried to restrain him. I was
looking at a now silenced and bewildered group of people.

"You can shove that stupid deal up your a** old man. I want no part of
it!" exclaimed the now infuriated young man.

'You have committed to the contract, as witnessed by all of your
friends. You cannot get out of the deal unless I agree to it. I do not
intend to let you free now that I have you ensnared. I am the power
you agreed to. I am the one you blindly and without thought chose to
enslave yourself to. In short, I am your Master."

At this, the table of celebrating individuals became a unified group
against the unfairness of the deal.

After a few moments of unrepeatable comments and slurs, I revealed my
true intent.

"What I did to you is what this administration and congress did to you
with the health care legislation. I easily suckered you in and then
revealed the real cost of the bargain. Your folly was in the belief
that you can have something you did not earn, and for that which you
did not earn, you willingly allowed someone else to think for you.
Your failure to research, study and inform yourself permitted reason
to escape you. You have entered into a trap from which you cannot
flee. Your only chance of freedom is if your new Master gives it to
you. A freedom that is given can also be taken away. Therefore, it is
not freedom at all."

With that, I tore up the napkin and placed it before the astonished
young man. "This is the nature of your new health care legislation."

I turned away to leave these few in thought and contemplation -- and
was surprised by applause.

The elderly gentleman, who was clearly entertained, shook my hand
enthusiastically and said, "Thank you, Sir. These kids don't
understand Liberty ."

He refused to allow me to pay my bill as he said, "You earned this
one. It is an honor to pick up the tab."

I shook his hand in thanks, leaving the restaurant somewhat humbled
and sensing a glimmer of hope for my beloved country.

Remember... Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box,
the jury box, and the cartridge box.

I agree with you that some (not all) of government policies are asinine. At the same time, it is very wrong for you to disparage your own nation by ending your remarks with the words "What a Country!!!"
I have been in other countries including those within the Middle East and some are real shit-holes where almost everyone living there, as well as some who say they "hate" us, would like to trade places with disgruntled Americans like yourself.
But then, maybe there's a solution to you dissatisfaction if you can find yourself living a few years in one of those same shit-holes.
(1) Among them, taxes are generally low and many people there often do not pay their taxes in any case.
(2) You won't have to worry about voter fraud since most people aren't allowed to vote.
(3) There's no unemployment benefits since out-of-work people have the right to starve along with their kids.
(4) Subsidized housing? Don't worry about that. People sleep out in the streets at night while the dead are picked up in the morning and carted off to land fills.
(5) Hooray for you: There's no Medicaid! People just get sick and die...No big deal.
(6) You got a problem with U.S. schools? How about a country where your son is lucky to reach 4th grade and your daughter is not allowed to attend school at all.
(7) You hate restrictive gun laws...Why worry? You may want to try Iraq where many of your own neighbors are carrying AK-47s. (Just make sure you belong to the right religious sect).
It's a fair-sized guess that if you spend a few years as a resident of one of these low tax and regulation free countries you'll be soon high-tailing it back to the good old and repressive U.S.A.
I agree with you that some (not all) of government... (show quote)

Getting very sick of these 'I got an email so I'm passing it on' crap posts. Did you check the veracity of the info in it?


I can't account for Costco but I was in the pharmaceutical industry for years and the fact that pharmacists make the markup larger on generic drugs is true. It has been going on for years.

While an outhouse had disadvantages this wasn't one of them. No one EVER followed you to the outhouse.


Wrong, when I was growing up it was customary for the women to go to the outhouse together. (One might see a snake) and of course they gossiped while gone.......this was called a "s__house conference". Well to do families also had two holers to accomodate more than one person. Our local school had a three holer and a trough for the males to urinate.

If it's true, and I hope it's not, how much more into our lives is our government going to try to get ?

I ain't liking this one bit. Good education is sufficient so kids know how fat they'll get with some foods, but stuffing humus down their throats is crazy.

Maybe folks with growing kids should maybe ' gasp ' pack their kids a good lunch ?

It is true in Tennessee and if a child doesn't select the items for a complete meal on the menu and leaves out a veggie or fruit, etc, then the meal is charged "a la carte". One of my grandsons ran up an additional $18 on his bill the first week. We now pack lunches and the guys aren't coming home hungry. BTW They are all of a healthy weight, growing, and active in sports. We have been blessed.

It looks like it has a square stem and the flowers and florets of a mint (Labiatae). It is probably some form of domesticated Coleus.

I understand that Medicare payments will double under Obamacare in 2014, True or false.


This is true. Mine and my wife's will be $214.00/month each. That's not counting the additional cost for supplemental insurance.
